This is a multipart message in MIME format. Can you load this MIB with xnmloadmib2? Check that first to make sure the
problem is not syntactical. Then proceed with your IMPORTS.
If you are missing anything, it is the missing constructs from the
swmib-smiv1. The two RFCs just define terminology and syntax which the
MIB loaders already understand. Try making a new MIB file by
concatenating this MIB you are trying to use to swmib-smiv1 and see if
that works. Since mib2trap works on files rather than on the database, it
needs everything defined in one file.

It looks like it trying to import some stuff from RFC1155-SMI,

place?

Kevin -
Please clarify your question again, and this time use a new subject more
explict than the last one.
I cannot tell just what you are asking, and the old subject doesn't seem
appropriate.
Are you asking how to configure a Cisco agent to send you a particular
trap when a certain threshold is exceeded?
Then clarify what Cisco agent (what box is it?) and what MIB variable
from what MIB? If this is what you want, then you have to be specific
enough so that some Cisco-savvy person can assist you. Put Cisco in your
subject to catch his or her attention.
If it is not Cisco, who do you have in mind to do the monitoring, MLM or
snmpCollect on the NetView box itself? Both are capable.
Are you asking how to get snmpCollect to collect on a particular Cisco
MIB variable and send you trap when it is exceeded? He can do that
himself and there is no need to involve MLM. And the documentation is in
the NetView Admin Guide under MIB Data Collection, but generally you
would load the MIB first, if it is in SNMP V1 format. Otherwise you
would edit snmpCol.conf manually, using some other entry as a guide. So
again, let's be more specific and talk about what MIB variable from what
MIB. Is it an SNMP V2 MIB? Have you used snmpCollect before?
Or are you asking how to set up MLM to collect on a MIB variable and send
you a trap? He also can do that, too, just as snmpCollect can. Then you
would use the MLM doc to find out how to configure the appropriate table
using smconfig. Have you used smconfig before?
So what are you trying to do? If you ask the right question, I am sure
someone can help.

Subject: RE: [NV-L] snmp setup
If I may piggyback on this issue,
I am running Netview
6.01 on Aix 4.3 I too am interesting in generating a trap from a mib
vairiable. The mib is a cisco mib that monitor cpu activity on a
router. My wish is to create a threshold using this mib and when the
threshold is met generate a trap to the MLM wich then will forward the
events to my Netview servers. My experience is similar to the author of
this note. Is there documentation that explains step by step how to
load and then get trap-events for mibs that arent defined to your
platform?

First, loading the MIB does not add trap settings, period. Never has in
Netview . You can only add trap settings from a MIB by running mib2trap
on the MIB. This creates, in NT, a .bat file, (a script in UNIX), which
contains a series of addtrap commands built from the TRAP-TYPE or
NOTIFICATION-TYPE statements in the MIB. If the .bat file is empty,
then there were no such statements in the MIB, which means that it does
not define any traps. If you are in doubt about that, then browse the
MIB with Notepad or Wordpad an take a look. If the .bat file is not
empty, then you must execute that file to add the traps. Adding the
Enterprise Id manually is not necessary. Addtrap will do that and add
the specific traps as well.

Subject: [NV-L] snmp setup
Hello All,
I am having a little issue, i loaded the required mib in to Netview
6.02 on NT. I am able to use the MIB Browser and walk through the tree
succesfully. When i go into the view the trap settings there is nothing
visible under the Enterprise for this MIB, so i created a new entry for
the Enterprise. Still no traps are visible. I attempted to use
mib2trap with no success, any and all advice for be greatly appreciated.
Thanks..........
